Ouch, IMS failure on Ebay - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

The 2008 bearing is the same as the M97 bearing.. It was made enormous and cannot be removed from the engine, or modified at all.

They do fail.

The IMS bearing being re-designed for "Engine noise reduction" is the reason Porsche gave for the revision.

Is that the real reason??

Jake,

just be sure we're on the same page:
I am talking about a 3.2L 252bhp engine which I received in 2008 as a replacement engine for a 2002 BoxS
